#76 - Plan a girls day with just my mom and Kaylin

Yesterday was my mom's birthday, so I used the occasion to cross #76 off my list of 101 Goals in 1001 Days.

It's been in the back of my mind that I wanted to have "high tea" with my mom and Kaylin for a while now. I love tea. Especially high tea! What's not to like about tiny cakes and sandwiches??? Throw in some shopping and you have a girlie day fit for a queen.

Well, at the last minute, I decided we needed pedicures, too. It was brought to my attention the other day (when I paid a babysitter handsomely so I could attend Ryan's last day of school party) that my mom has saved us boatloads of money by babysitting during our date nights through the years. The least I could do is treat her to a pedicure!

Kaylin was so excited to pick her polish when we arrived. A whole wall full of colors to choose from...


She was so patient while my mom and I got our pedicures. She played with the buttons on the massage chair, drank her Juicy Juice and quietly licked her lollipop. People actually commented about how well she behaved. I love my mellow little girl!


Kaylin loved every minute of her first professional polish, but it will be a while before we do that again. The employee made $2/minute from this tiny client.


In the end, we all got the same polish color. Look at our purple piggies...


After our pedicures and some shopping, we went out for high tea at the foofiest place on the planet. They even had a huge chest of hats to wear while we were there.




Kaylin thought the sugar cubes were the greatest invention ever. She ordered the "nursery tea" which included PB&J crustless sandwiches, strawberries, grapes, oranges, chocolate covered strawberries, mini cakes and cookies. The pink decaf tea topped it all off.


We had such a fun girls day out.


Happy Birthday, Mom!

I was just at the tea room in Carefree about a month ago for a baby "Sprinkle" for a friend of mine. LOVED THAT PLACE! It was sooooo girly! I can't wait to be able to take my little munchkin when she gets a little older!
